Opening Day is officially right around the corner, and that means that teams across MLB are finalizing 26-man rosters to begin the 2025 campaign.
From veterans trying to stick around to top prospects aiming to make their MLB debuts, there are spring battles of all shapes and sizes that will be decided in the days leading up to first pitch. Although all 30 rosters won't be finalized until Thursday, players are being informed as to whether or not they will travel with their respective clubs to begin the year.
You can follow along here to see what notable decisions each team has made in the lead-up to Thursday's domestic Opening Day.
